Yeah the "dog" red herring seems like a classic case of moving the goalposts. He needed a reason so he said it was the dog, then when it wasn't the dog it was smoking drugs, then when he couldn't prove that he started looking for warrants/previous, then when he couldn't find anything through the computer he fell back on "well I can't arrest you but the manager wants you to leave".
